    Re: Codom Hypo? Then explain this....

    Don't you think these might actually be something different from what we have Shannon? I mean, they are similar in some ways but wow. These are much prettier IMO. I don't really see that crazy head pattern or any abnormalities in her dorsal pattern.(the female you sent to me). Also, she has darkened up and looks pretty much like a normal green checkered now.

    Sure would like to get my hands on a pair of these pictured above. One of them has a bulls eye painted on his head. LoL.

    Re: Codom Hypo? Then explain this....

    First off, I'm in TOTAL agreement that Hypo is a bad term for them, and Pastel is indeed more descriptive. So yes, let's just agree that's the term

    As for the rest-I dunno, all I can report is my own results-I don't see any of the above adults as "dark" pastels-if so I don't know how you'd tell a normal apart! And assuming that they are indeed "normals", then this particular gene can't be a codom.

    Perhaps we are really looking at two different Pastel genes here? I guess the next test is to cross the two-anyone up for a trade?

    We could be, or we could be dealing with a really weird gene that doesn't fit neatly into one category... The male I have done most of my work with is from that original line of pastel, the same as the snakes in your pictures! The snakes in your photos don't look like pastels to me but they do have a glow about them. I don't ever see normals that bright!

    No, they are the same... My original male is from this exact bloodline... The original one when these were first made available. It's merely an -extremely- variable trait... It ranges from just a tad brighter than normal... To cracked out crazy like these babies here.
